Blue Pomeranian Puppies Make Great Companions For Any Size Family

By Christine Stone


Dog lovers can get opinionated when it comes to the best breeds. Some families always have large, energetic animals that can accompany them on camping and hiking trips. Other families, concerned for their safety, choose intimidating guard dogs. Then there are the families who swear by little bundles of fur that love to cuddle with them on the couch. If you are one of the tiny dog lovers, blue Pomeranian puppies could be a perfect fit.

These little animals actually belong to the Spitz family of dogs that include Elkhounds, Samoyeds, and Malamutes. Hundreds of years ago, Pomeranians looked more like their much larger cousins. They weighed around thirty pounds then, instead of the three to seven pounds you see today. They were favorites of the likes of Mozart, Michelangelo, Martin Luther, and Sir Isaac Newton. A Pom owned by England's Queen Victoria was the first ever entered into a dog show.

Most Poms have personalities bigger than they are. These dogs are very smart and outgoing. They generally love people and fit into most family structures. Like all dogs, the Pom needs early socialization to avoid shyness, nervousness, and a tendency to bark at anything that moves. Meeting the parents of the puppy you are considering is a good idea. That will tell you a lot about your puppy's adult personality.

Even the bigger Poms are tiny dogs. Most range from three to seven pounds. Every once in awhile, a breeder will get a larger strain in a litter. The bigger Poms make good pets for families with little children. Whatever their weight, twelves inches is about as tall as they get.

Poms are good dogs for people who live in apartments and condos. They are active and love to be walked, but they can also get enough exercise if you spend time playing with them inside. Because they are so playful, dog toys are usually a lot of fun for them. You'll have to rotate the toys however, or your pup will get bored. These smart animals can easily learn tricks and will show off for your guests given the chance.

Pomeranians have luxurious, double coats that are very distinctive. The top coat is rough, and the bottom coat is soft. Their sumptuous tails and neck ruffs are other special features that define the Pomeranian look. Brushing them every few days is a must. In order to get them used to the grooming routine, you need to start early and offer frequent treats.

Poms are pretty healthy and hardy little dogs. They have average life spans of twelve to sixteen years. Whenever you are buying any purebred animal, you need to ask the breeder to supply you with health clearances. This will let you know which diseases your puppy's immediate ancestors were cleared of. Allergies, epilepsy, hip dysplasia, and dental and eye problems are the most common health concerns.

Poms are great little dogs that make excellent pets. They are loving, intelligent, and playful. If you are buying from a breeder though, making sure she is reputable and not running a puppy mill is critical.
